Wallowa hasn't been beaten, and the way she is snooting means that there will have to be a great slaughter of pigeons if she is beaten tomorrow, for if La Grande, doesn't do it, who will?

Opening Day in La Grande May See Plenty of Frills and Crowds. Apropos to the quorc'.on of closing up La Grande as tight aa a drum vMay 13, appears an artie'.a' ia the North Yakima Hera-1 that came cut the day after the h.$ celebration there when the Spud- and the Craves met for the first game , That L:i Grande is going to close up its busi ness now seems a certainty but in addition some little celebration be ing staged, the details of which are yet to come to the it on" The ar tide in question very pertinently says: "This is a punk towfl," saii a com mercial traveler in a loca' hotel yes terday, "and any pjac eis a punk town in which business ceae,' because a ball game is in progress. One would thing this is a village 200 poople and that the circus procession were passing." "Forget it," said another tr.ivelwr. "you're a grouch. In the first place, the size of a town has nothing to do with it as far as celebrating bass ball is concerned. , A bigger town would have more dead ones and dol lar chasers than this and some towns have enough to keep the stores Wide open at all times. But Here in Yak ima this is an event The town is entering organized baseball circles.lt has become a really, truly American city. It is merely celebrating its in dependence." "Bah," said the first speaker. "All that sort of talk is rot. Here ,1 am compelled to remain over a day long er in a one-horse town because I couldn't find anyone to do business with, and had to loaf about the hotel all afternoon." " ."Take the next train out," said No 2,. "for you won't do business any how; you can't. I went out and whooped it up with the boys, and to morrow I will whoop it up with the bosses. I learned something about these Yakima people today, and you didn't. This is a great town. Any agricultural town that can in the spring of the year forget seeds and trees and business and have fun for a day has either got money or knows how to make it, and has no worries.. Monday I was in doubt about Yak ima. Today I know about it You think you do ,but you're wrong." "Bah," said No. 1. x Baker Fans Loyal. Baker, April 26. (Special ). "Keep on trying," you're improving," was the message of encouragement sent to the "Gold Diggers' 'at Boise yesterday by the Booster club, at thejr meeting.

Ones Great Baseball Machine Has Many New Gogs. JOHNNY EVERS' HANDS FULL Chenoe'e Successor Is Not Finding Managerial Berth On of Roses. Men Hard to Handle Club Has Only One High Class Pitcher.

Catcher Kllng has retired from baseball, and Pitcher Reulbach Is tbe only one of tbe old pitchers now left with tbe team. Chance and Tinker are handling other ball clubs, and Stelnfeldt has re tired, leaving Jobnny -Ever the sole remnant of tbe great lnlield. which was considered by many critics the finest machine ever got together In tnr hlotory of scientific baseball. Frank Scbulte bangs on In- tbe out field, and Jimmy Sbeckard Is now a member of tbe St. Louis Nationals.

By tbis be means that be let Cbance, Tinker, Brown and others go because, in bis judgment though players of national reputation, they had outlived tbelr usefulness as big league performers. He claims that be has filled tbe places of these waning stars wltb players of greater speed and more ability. This means that be believes that Victor Saler will more than replace Frank Cbance at first base, while either Bridwell or Corrlden will ac ceptably fill tbe shoes of Joe Tftiker at short Some of tbe young pitchers will be as much of a help to tbe club as Mordecal Brown. But even If all these things turn out to be true, wblcb Is tbe height of Impossibility, the less of Frank Chance's managerial ability is bound to be keenly felt by tbe Cubs. Already reports coming from the In side convey tbe Information that Man ager Frers has severely criticised sev eral of tbe players on bis team; that he bad a run In with Roger Bresnsban, who refused to put on a uniform the following day, and that Saler, a quiet and modest fellow and a good ball player when properly bandied, has been sent high Into tbe air by the ver bal attacks of Kvers and Zimmerman. Manager Evers has been twice ranpbt napping of second base In re cent cames. an Instance of being rat-d-d. r I:l !i Indicates all too clearly l'".v t' ir:-- ore golngr In the Cnb ramp.

Wallowa plays at Enterprise on ths same day. The opening days at both places will be made events of im portance and large crowds will gath er to see the first game fought out Captain Mclnnis has mustered a good' force of players to carry out the La Grande side of the bane He has announced this lineup for the opening day which ought I J .nc Elgin to tiavel considerable to ev'R keep up: Higgei;: an Iowa state leaguer, Carter lb, Pidcock 2b; Frees, 3b; Conley, ss; Murchison If; Chiiders cf ; Hathaway and Stacy rf ; Mclnnis, pitcher.

SFOET GOSSIP O Q 0 Less than 200 people attend the games at North Yakima daily, and though of 20,000 population have been showing the poorest gate re ceipts of the league thus far. With either Pendleton, Baker or La Grande playing good ball, the inland towns will better that figure easily enough. A player named Gingrass joined the Spuds at Yakima Thursday, play ing second for "Van,'! whose ankle was bad. He handled 4 chances clever. Well, not so bad, shutting the Braves out yesterday. Two and two now. Here's to the "Spuds." Pendleton and La Grande fans are still boosting. Baker Herald. Notice how Baker 1b steadily im proving. The anvil chorus better get on the fence for it will have to jump soon. Baker is due for some of the pie, remarks a Baker scribe. Harlow has changed his mind and will not take on Hoag, released by Boise, and the ex-Spokane Indian will go to Chico, California, in the Trolley league. McKune is a pretty mad Irishman. He considers Thursday's game lost by a raw decision. He tried to ex press himself by the telephone to Pendleton fans but wires refused to carry more than th9 general impres sion that he was sore to his heart When a team gets ten hits against its opponents' three and then loses a game, it does look as if something went a little wrong with all due re spect to Starkell and his reputation for squareness, soliloquizes a Pendle ton East Oregonlan writer. . Then Pendleton men are scrappy. They fight for every game, although their kicking came a little too strong yesterday. Manager McKune had a fige spot slashed from his salary and reflect tuut winning null clubs are not manufactured on hot air and the quotation of nig figures for salaries snd purchased plnrers. It is a grave question whether the Cubs ran pctwlbly finish In the flrot Jl vision thin yenr. and an absolute cinch Hint they will not run lietter ttinn fourth, a position which they will he lucky to attain. This Is not a knock at the Cub team or anybody connect ed with It but simply a prophecy to offset tbe extravagant claims which emsnatp from Chicago.

A. Foley who returned this morning after having seen La Grande go three games and seen Walla Walla and the Bucks fight it out yesterday. Pugsley is gone, Gooch and Browning are gone and Vanrenhorst's are is in such a con dition that he is either released or will bt ?oon if his arm doesn't im prove. ''When Mr. Foley ' left the Spuds Van's physical condition ' was not of the best and it was thought likely that his old arm trouble is going to keep him out Word from North Yakima yesterday coroborates the report that Van has been forced to retire. A pitcher named Willanons, a Seattle right hander, has been signed up and several others are being looked over with a view of filling up the holes left should Van renhorst be unable to get back In the game. , , , Umpire Meade robbed La Grande of its first defeat and is very unpopu lar with Manager Engel, too, reports the club president The umps is in bad in every way at' North Yakima. The game yesterday marked by five errors on North Yakima's part and ohe by a Grande, Jamison held the Braves to three scattered hits, and the entire team had its gilt edge ball to the front Today and tomor row decides the series and that La Grande will break even is very prob able if she does she has done her first week's work nobly. , Commencing Tuesday all details petaining to the game will be pub lished the day after the game but the mail service is such that it takes two days to get detailed information to La Grande from North Yakima. ' Hard luck alone is holding Pendle ton out of the winning thinks the re turned mogul. The Bucks are play ing great ball says Foley. North Yakima Score: R. H. E.

A team that wont' fight for a game wouldn't be worth going far to see, but it's going a little too strong when the players begin nagging. . There was a ques tionable decision at first in the last of the ninth, when a Bear got life on an error, but those sitting near the bag say that he was safe, Lodell not having his foot on the bag. From the grandstand he looked to be out But it's the difference of opinion that makes baseball. The coffers of the league were swelled yesterday. It's hard on salaries, but the league needs the money. Walla Walla Union. asra I 0 J CD For Headache Nervousness and BacRacheldue , 4-kw.ss -a ' i - iiianeys anaiDiagaer; SOLD BY A. T.
